"We heard a tremendous roar, and looked to our right. We saw an approaching flight of Japanese aircraft. They were flying so low, we looked down and across the valley to the north and could actually see the profiles of the aircraft crews as they flew by...My sister and I, being young, stood up and waved to the airplanes, and the last aircraft responded by wiggling its wings back." ---Gordon L. Lavering, 11-years-old, sitting on a cliff with his 13-year-old sister |
"Etched in my memory.... casualties ... some directly to the operating room ... some to the ward beds ... some to the lanai ... where dead bodies lay like stacks of corded wood. Then I was sent to the Burn Ward where men lay in beds, burns over most or all of their bodies." ---Rosella (Nesgis) Asbelle, Navy nurse stationed at Pearl Harbor |
"We had a front row seat (to) the attack from the sewer line trench. As we watched and saw Jap planes get hit, boy, we would all yell! Somehow somebody got a bottle of whiskey and we started passing it up and down." ---George Hettinger, Survivor USS Utah |
"We heard a large explosion. The bomb landed about 300 yards away, hitting the fuel tanks at Wheeler Field. The clock in our kitchen fell off the wall, stopping at 7:50 A.M. The attack at Pearl Harbor started at 7:55 A.M., so I saw the first bomb land of the entire attack." ---James E. Barney, 11-year-old |
